ENSURE YOUR HOME IS PROTECTED FROM PREVENTABLE DRYER FIRES

Dryer fires are more of a risk today than chimney fires. The most common cause of dryer fires is neglecting to clean and clear the dryer vents. Over time dryer vents build with material preventing proper ventilation, allowing heat to build and eventually causing it to ignite.

The best prevention and protection is ensuring your dryer vents are cleaned by the experts regularly. The frequency of required cleaning will vary depending on levels of use and layout of the duct work. Do not wait for disaster to strike. Ensure you and your family are protected from dryer fires with the professionals from Modern PURAIR®.

WHEN TO HAVE YOUR HOME’S DRYER VENTS CLEANED

Early detection of lint build up can prevent dangerous dryer fires from happening. Some of the signs that might indicate your dryer vents need to be cleaned are:

Clothes are taking a long time to dry or possibly not drying at all

Excessive moisture buildup in your laundry room resulting in a high level in condensation (water dripping from your walls)

A burning smell occurs when running your dryer

Dryer vents should be cleaned annually depending on the length of the vents and duct work itself. Lint build up will vary for each system so keeping a close eye for warning signs is important. Contact us if you are unsure or believe your dryer vents need cleaning.

Dryer Vent cleaning FAQ’s

How frequently should you have your dryer exhaust vent cleaned?

Dryer exhaust vents should be professionally cleaned at least once a year depending on the size of the household and dryer usage. According to the US Fire Administration, 2,900 dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss.

Why do you need to have your dryer vent cleaned?

Lint from your dryer gets past the filter and into the exhaust vent. That lint gets trapped along the way out of the building and over time it creates a dam that will continue to trap more and more lint. This causes the dryer to overheat, creating a fire hazard.

How do you know if you need to have your dryer exhaust vent cleaned?

You should have your dryer exhaust vent cleaned on an annual basis. If clothes are not drying as they should, a burning smell appears when running the dryer, or you notice lint build-up on the exhaust vent, there is a strong chance you need your vents cleaned.

How much lint is actually trapped inside the exhaust vent?

It depends on how much the dryer is used, the distance of duct work from the dryer to the outside of the building, and when the last time it was cleaned. You will most likely be shocked at how much is actually trapped in there.
